In certain circumstances, Avocados is able to offer crisis grants to support individuals facing short-term challenges. These grants can help with immediate needs and, in some cases, include assistance with essential technical equipment, such as providing an educational laptop. However, all requests are subject to approval and depend on the availability of resources and our current capacity to provide support.

Are you currently in Education?

Do you currently have any support from a social worker, personal advisor or local authority team? If so, please can you provide a contact name and email/number.

If you do not have a social worker or personal advisor, do you have someone we can contact as a reference to confirm your situation? (Doctor, teacher, lecturer, employer, etc).

What type of accommodation do you have? (supported accommodation, semi supported, rented house, home owner, shared accommodation, living with partner, living with family/foster family, youth hostel, B&B, etc).

Are you in receipt of any benefits? If so, how much and when do you get paid.

We are unlikely to be able to help you if you have an annual household income of over £30,000.00

Are you employed?

If employed, how much do you get paid and how often?

Please tell us about your time in care and what support you had/currently have since leaving care.

What are you applying for and why? (Food vouchers, equipment support, transport support, costs of living and bills, etc).

Do you know how much you need?

What support have you previously applied for from other organisations or what support have you already accessed?

What might help change your circumstances for the longer term? (accessing your rights and entitlements, changes in benefits, changes in job circumstances, access to student finance, etc).
